MILWAUKEE -- Help is out there. That message is being spread by domestic violence victims' advocates after a murder-suicide on Saturday, March 11th that left a Milwaukee police officer and his estranged wife dead.

It happened near 92nd and Goodrich on Milwaukee's far northwest side. Sources tell FOX6 News Leon Davis shot his wife, and then killed himself. Sherida Davis later died at the hospital.

"It's tragic. It's absolutely tragic to hear about a situation like this," Erin Perkins with the Milwaukee Commission on Domestic Violence said.

Perkins is a coordinator with the Milwaukee Commission on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault -- part of the Milwaukee Health Department.
